Two of the caster feet for the Shop Vac were lost and broken. Replaced with a substitute from another make a model, but it needed a little force to put them on the Shop Vac. But it did work.
Ordered the replacement casters.
Lined up where they should attach.
But they wouldn\'t go on as smoothly as the original parts made by Shop Vac.
So I used a little elbow grease and a rubber mallet.
They fit just fine now, and are working beautifully.
No wobble or tilt.
Smooth rolling.
1. Removed the broken plastic foot.
2. Pulled the still good caster out of the plastic foot, (screwdriver helped with leverage) & set it aside.
3. Ordered & received new plastic replacement foot only.
4. Inserted old caster into new foot: snapped right in!
5. Snapped foot into bottom of vacuum (& tapped into place
